First Day Back!
Our teachers were thrilled to welcome students back after the break! Today, our 3rd grade students kicked off the day by discussing their winter break experiences. They began exploring the question, “What makes people view the same experience in different ways?” The conversations among students was engaging and thoughtful—great to see such rich discourse happening in our classrooms! Welcome back, students—what a fantastic start to the new year!
